What are zero-byte visits in audit detail reports?

Category: Administration, Reporting

When viewing an audit detail report, the number of bytes received from the Internet in response to Web requests is shown in the Size column in the Audit Detail section of the report. It includes all content that was used to render the Web site, which is referred to as “payload,” but does not include the accompanying HTTP header information. HTTP headers contain information about the request or response that allows servers to provide the right data and browsers to render the content properly. Occasionally, servers can respond with only HTTP header information to inform the browser that there is no content, or redirect to a new URL for the content. These visits show in the audit detail report as zero bytes (0 B) in the Size column. While there is no payload for these requests, they are valid entries in the report because the browser requested the data and received a valid HTTP response.

Using the audit report filters

Category: Reporting

In audit detail reports, report filters allow you to filter data by user, IP address, category, search term, and URL. The filters are located in the Audit Detail section of the report. If only one user or one category exists in the report, the corresponding filter field will not be displayed. For example, a Category Audit Detail report provides data on one category at a time, and therefore, the category filter field will not be displayed.

The following reports contain filters:

  • Category Audit Detail
  • Denied Detail
  • Legal Liability Detail
  • Search Terms Audit Detail
  • Site Audit Detail
  • User Audit Detail

The following filters are available depending on the report:

  • The user filter field shows all users in the report. When you make a selection, the report shows only data for that user.
    • In the User Audit Detail report, this field shows IP addresses. If there is only one IP address associated with the user, the filter field will not show.
  • The category filter field shows all categories in the report. When you make a selection, the report shows only data for that category.
  • A text field lets you enter URL text to filter on. You do not have to type the full URL. The report shows only data with URLs containing the entered text.
    • In the Search Terms Audit Detail report, you would enter a search term or search term phrase to filter on. The report shows only data with the entered search term or search term phrase.

Below is an example of a User Audit Detail report.
